I really want to tell my dad but my dad's the kind of guy who only looks at the bad things that could happen. my mom knows and she's been trying to help me come up with a way to tell my dad...but so far there's no way we could come up with something. can anyone help me figure out a way to tell my dad without him totally freaking out on me?? if so it would be very appreciative.

 You can't control how your dad will react to something like this. You just have to tell him straight that you're dating someone.
He'll probably be mad and just see the things that could go wrong, but tell him that if you have his support on this, then it is less likely to go horribly wrong.
He'll also be upset if he knows that his wife knew and didn't tell him. I think you'll just have to bite the bullet and tell him. Have your mum there for moral support incase he does flip, she can help calm him down.
Good luck hun :) xx

The only way this will work if your date is willing to help out... if not hes not worth the time, because he doesnt care enough to wait and be approved by some of the most important ppl in your life...
